  • Description
  • Strip mining continued in Patton Township well into the 1940s as the rich coal seams in the area were further exploited. The future home of the Monroeville Mall was also located on land that is said to have once served as a mule barn for The New York and Cleveland Coal Mine, and later the land became part of a strip mine – Thomas Harper Coal Company’s Mine.
